I loathed those things in the service.

However, when I'd want to buy a property in Mexico, I'd want to hear from real estate agents who would provide me the best possible service.

PM is a service business and time is very valuable.

Its normally fee service providers who are the greatest advocates of the program, whether it be agents, PM's, coaches/gurus. 

The direct booking features are also fantastic.Customer service is solid, and Hospitable is constantly improving.

It may or may not show on a credit report, depends on the servicing and you should have the loan serviced.Failure to include the debt on a future loan application is mortgage fraud, wanna go to jail?

Utilities are OFTEN overlooked so reach out to power, telecom, gas (or go all electric), water, and sewer to make sure you understand what it would take to get separately metered services from the primary house.

Not every STR has to be a 4 Seasons and even those I've waited on service before and it's not like someone was breathing down their neck waiting to revoke their hotel license when it happened. 

Quote from @Nadine Wallace: You can do simplisafe with/without Wi-Fi, but you will need cellular service.

Of course, I am sure nobody would do that on this site since that would violate the terms of service!
